[QUOTE="Welsh Exile, post: 1034321, member: 82670"] Yeah I disagree but appreciate your responses. I think you’re right in that we’re defining it differently. You’re saying institutional racism are [B]intentionally [/B]designed systems and I agree with you, it was intentional for things like US drug policy. That was an intentional policy to discriminate and criminalise black people (and communists). It was intentional, after the civil war when the South had to free the slaves, to arrest freed slaves for petty things such as loitering so they could clean up the mess the civil war left. To produce a whole criminal class was intentional. This much is all true. Today, however, things are a lot more covert and while not all the outcomes are as intentional as they were 100/200 years ago they are built on the same foundation, the same racist structures. This is the first definition I found when googled and I’d say it fits almost perfectly with what you say we shouldn’t conflate it with. [I]Institutional racism, also known as systemic racism, is a form of racism that is embedded through laws within society or an organization. It can lead to such issues as discrimination in criminal justice, employment, housing, health care, political power, and education, among other issues.[/I] [/QUOTE]
